At Sounds Like This you’ll find the kind of creative, fun, and play based music classes you dreamed of as a kid.

Expect silly walks, sparkly eyes, (not so occasionally) animal sounds, puppets, props, instruments, imaginative play and blissed-out sung storybooks, and lullabies.

We’re for families with young children, full of potential and wonder, and educators who care deeply for the little ones that they work with.

Music Making Made Easy - Professional Development

For educators working with children 0 - 10 years

Use play, music, JOY, creativity, and curiosity to connect with your children in your early learning setting today and give your children the very best chance of becoming life-long lovers of learning.

In this PD, we make music-making, reporting, and assessments as easy as Vegemite toast. 

Plus our simple workbooks align our activities with the Early Years Learning Framework, lightening the planning and compliance administrative load for you.

The online program provides lifetime, unlimited access to a huge amount of resources. 

  • 44 videos demonstrating quality early learning musical examples through songs and rhymes to support educators and supercharge organic music-making in your early learning setting.

  • Explainer videos accompanying each of the example videos, providing clear insights so you can successfully deliver this game changing program. You’ll not only learn the songs and rhymes but discover how to teach using them for each age group.

  • Direct links to key learning outcomes from the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).

  • Video examples of how to scaffold the same songs to use and reuse as your students grow and develop.

Fancy learning more? We’d love to help you and your early learning space get the very best out of music-making.

Join us in real life

Sounds Like This loves getting out and about in the community.

You’ll find our family sessions running during the school terms at Spare Parts Art Space, Mornington.

During the winter, Julie hosts the State Library Children’s Quarter and would be delighted to welcome you along.

Over the warmer months, we’ll be watching for gorgeous weather and heading out and about for pop-up sessions in parks and gardens on the Mornington Peninsula, and in and around Melbourne.

All year ‘round we’re running musical incursions at early learning centres and could come to your too!

Sounds Like This will also have some special holiday programs for bigger kids, so be sure to jump on our mailing list to stay in the loop.
